Today my name is Friend :
 Had a lunch with one good friend yesterday, she has her regular chef salad with blue cheese and ranch and I have Grill Chicken Salad with Vinegar and oil. How original is that.
We have a great conversation on life. We are both in the same situation  living, single and supporting our self, currently unemployed, either over qualified or under qualified for the jobs out there. Of course the topic of men came up and had to laugh because we new we had a lot in common, as the conversation went on we found out we had one more thing in common. We both dated the same guy, that we met online LOL. It was reassuring to find out I wasn't the crazy one. He was just as bazaar with her as he was with me. Enough said... but was worth the laugh.
 Discussed what our next move should be, how do we want to spend this phase of life.
 I shared my current dream of selling everything buying a Toy Hauler and Pickup loading up "Purple" (those of you that don't know I bought a purple Harley 3 years ago and found the love of my life LOL) and hitting the road to ride in all 50 states. Told her how I had spent the other day ordering a travel planners from every state. My mailman is going to wonder what the hell, here in a couple weeks when they start arriving.
 I also researched the 2014 Ralley calendar but not sure I'm interested, crowds don't excite me I enjoy the solitude of America's 2 lane highways enjoying the beauty of what God has made for our enjoyment. I shared my idea of a book I'd like to do titled " Me and my friends: America, 2 Lane, and Purple". A photographic coffee table book of America's 2 lane Highways from the seat of Purple though the lenses of my Camera.
We ended our lunch on a good laugh and thought that we are in a good spot, life looks good and full of adventures left to take.
Twice blessed today another friend showed up for a afternoon visit. Funny how similar our lives are, she currently is in the early phase of becoming single at 60 living all the frustrations of making the decision to make it final. I am happy to be a support system for her, this is a very hard stage to be in but I see her getting from guilt to the
pissed stage the f bomb flowed freely. Where you realize you have to do what is best for you. Can't worry about him or what it is doing to him. He already did the damage to you and didn't care. A hard realization that the hopes and dreams you had for your marriage are yours not his. We talk about the opportunities that are ahead that can only be realized one step at a time.She has to get her situation taken care of. But we are planning a big Indoor Garage sale in May. If you happen to stop buy you are welcome to go through the boxes and take what you'd like.
I share with her my plans also and she is very supportive too.
So my next step will be to talk with my family about how serious I am about moving toward this adventure. I have shared it in conversation with them but they hear a lot of hair brain ideas of mine so I don't think they think I am serious. But they never thought I'd really buy a Harley either.LOL

As I close this blog I realize how important my friends are how they keep me sane, how they listen to my frustrations, now they support my dreams, how they trust me with their life situations,how we can laugh and realize  if we want to make God laugh tell him our plans.
As I move forward I ask for God's blessing on where and what I should be doing.
Right now it is to get my house ready to sell, downsize my stuff, and dream about riding in all 50 states.
With God's will I will.

Enjoy your day and keep your dreams alive,
Grammy Tammy
